Du Shihua was very perturbed by the huge sum of money requested but felt much better knowing that Old Man Du was the one paying. He would not receive any inheritance from his father anyway, at least he did not have to worry about his son’s astronomical medical expenses.
The blatant favoritism of Old Man Du was appalling but Du Chen was still his only grandson. Seeing hopes of Du Chen walking again, he hardened his heart and eventually took out the money.

The atmosphere at the Liang family became much more cheerful after the departure of unwanted visitors.
Zhou Weiqi stood teary-eyed, smiling like an idiot.
He went over and gave Lu Xingzhi a hug, embraced Liang Yueze, turned around and rested his head on Chen Xuyao’s shoulder, he then went over to Grandmother Liang and Mrs. Liang, behaving like a three-year-old child.
“Have you decided to go with Liang Weiqi or Lu Weiqi?” Luo Ruoran asked. “You’ll have to treat us to dinner tonight, as a celebration for starting your new life!”
“That’s for sure! You decide where to eat, I’ll pay!” Zhou Weiqi felt better after making his decision. He looked at the time and said, “I’m going to work, I’ll then bring Zhan Qiuhe along for tonight’s dinner.”
“Resign as soon as possible.” Liang Yueze called out to Zhou Weiqi, who was rushing to leave. “You don’t have to work there anymore since you have no more relations with the Zhou family.”
Zhou Weiqi scratched his head and sighed, “Alright! I’m gonna see Qiuhe now, I’ll decide later.”

“Brother Liang, what’s your plan for Weiqi?” Chen Xuyao asked, “Even though he graduated from military school, I don’t think it’s practical or even possible for him to return to the army now.”
“He’ll have to work a few years in smaller regional bases before we can promote him into the position he wants,” Liang Yueze said. “My big brother and my grandfather will see to it.”
“Such a waste! His prime years squandered away by the Zhou family,” Luo Ruoran exclaimed.
“I think it’s great he left the Zhou family. Seeing how restrictive they are, Weiqi doesn’t even dare to go after the lady he fancies.” Mrs. Liang came out of the kitchen with a tray of cut-up fruits. She added, “I think he will be single for life if he stays with the Zhou family.”
She looked at Chen Xuyao and asked, “What about you? When are you getting married? Your mother always complains how carefree you are!”
“Auntie Liang! What about Brother Gu? Why am I being nagged at instead?” Chen Xuyao was not too pleased with the unwanted questioning.
“Have an apple and keep your mouth shut.” Lu Xingzhi shoved a few slices of apple into Chen Xuyao’s mouth, stole a few glances at Liang Yueze and Luo Ruoran, before changing the topic of the conversation.
